Small issue when database is empty #19

A 'users table could not be found' error is thrown when the database is empty.

Controller.cfc public void function init() { filters(through="getCurrentUser"); }

This is a totally valid exception.. However, this becomes an issue when trying to use a plugin such as dbmigrate to create the database schema, s the session check is run when using a plugin.

My workaround was to comment out the filter in Controllers.cfc until the database was created. Not a biggie, but a little painful when playing with database schema ideas.

I thought about adding a condition:

filters(through="getCurrentUser", condition="params.controller neq 'wheels'");

But this means you can't use the test frameworks to test session logic.. and also means requests to any installed plugins are not authenticated

Thanks for reporting that. I'll have to think of a work around. If you get any ideas, let me know. I'm going to rewrite some of the logic in the app as soon as I have some free time, hopefully within a month.
